STOCKHOLDERS ANXIOUS.


a st, Johnsbury despatch says: The
one great topic of note in local financial
circles this week has been the beginning
of hostilitles by Boston stockholders
against the management of the K. and T.
Fairbanks Scale company. 1t seems the
trouble is caused by failure to receive
dividends at the proper time. 1t is some
IS months since the company paid a dlvi-
dend. According to the story circulated
here, occasional sales of stock by large
holders have increased the number OF
shareholders to about 800, of which fully
200 are Boston men, but the control of the
company is understood to be lodged with
the Messrs. Fairbanks. The figures given
by the Commercial Bulletin make the
total stock but $500 600, while the holders
are told it is 81. 800, 600 1t is understood that
at the time of the incorporation years age
the invoiced property amounted to less
than 81 100000 and that the concern was
incorporated at twice the amount
Whether the stock was watered or add
tional property to the amount of the in
crease was put into the concern Is known
only by some Of the stockholders
W neither the lack of dividends which ha.
created this anxiety for information is
owing to watered stock, to depression o.
values or salaries out of proportion to ser
vice is not clear. IL should be remember
ed that while business is rushing now il
has been depressed in years back and thai
a rapidly increasing competition mus
have reduced the price of scales very ma
terially.

the exercises were of unusual interest.
In the morning there was an address by
Mrs. Fame Davis Smith at the audto-

daughter and most wonderful improvisa-
trce, Jennie b. Hagan, subjects selected
by the audience. At the close of
the poems DR.. Mills stepped to the
front of the platform and for half hour
demonstrated spirit return by giving
names of many of the departed who were
present, every one of whom We're recog-

afternoon there was a mastery discourse

A Now Counterfeit Silver pnllar.

a new counterfeit silver dollar has been
discovered 1t is evidently made by cast
ing from IA mould taken from genuine
piece. 1t is not stamped by die. In
color it is somewhat lighter than genuine
silver, having Il clean, soapy appearance
and feel which prevents ordinary grit or
dust from adhering to it. The lines of the
engraving are not at all sharp, like the
original, and the coin is noticeably thick
eri the milling lines ON the edge longer
and the diameter slightly shorter. When
dropped the coin does not ring clearly like
SILVER nor drop Hat like lead, but it emits
a sharp metallic noise. The "sn in the
word "pluribus' is notceably, bad, and
letters in the motto "In God We Trust
gives the appearance of Il line running
through the letters, as though the coun-
terlelt was not quite sure of the senti-
ment. 1t is softer than silver.
